Three Seward citizens arrested for stolen firearms

SEWARD – Authorities arrested three Seward residents Friday on several charges. Seward County Deputies with the assistance of the Seward Police Department served search warrants at two separate locations in Seward regarding burglaries that occurred in early through late January. Among the items reported as stolen are numerous firearms. The searches yielded stolen property as well as altered firearms and ultimately ended in the arrests of one male juvenile and two young adults. After the arrests a third search was conducted at another Seward residence. This search resulted in seizure of ammunition relating to the burglaries.

Cody Shafer, 20, was arrested and was charged with burglary, theft by unlawful taking, possession of stolen property, defacing firearms and possession of defaced firearms. Kashia Graves, 18, was also arrested and is being charged with burglary, theft by unlawful taking and possession of stolen property.
